WATCH: Alabama WR Jaylen Waddle shows off crazy speed in a flag football game

Regardless of the coronavirus, defensive backs will not give Jaylen Waddle six feet of space.

The explosive wide receiver enters his junior season at Alabama in the fall, and he’s taking this moment of social distancing to increase his speed, route running and overall production as a whole. A native of Houston, Texas, the former four-star was putting moves on competition in a flag football game. According to a video from EJ Holland, a recruiting insider for the Michigan Wolverines, Waddle burned a guy on a simple inside drag route and hauled in a touchdown.

He jumped off the line of scrimmage and worked his way around the defender.
